IBSystems, Inc. Design Automation Portal Network Passes 2,000,000 Page View Mark
CAMPBELL, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 6, 2002--IBSystems, a
leading provider of web portals and virtual trade shows, announced
that monthly readership of its targeted design automation portal
network is now 2,025,000 page views. The portals, which cover the EDA,
MCAD, GIS, PCB, and AEC industries, now serve more than 340,000 unique
visitors each month.
Every day more than 150,000 issues of CafeNews are sent to
professionals in each industry, and beginning September 22, 2002 more
than 70,000 subscribers will begin receiving online week-in-review
magazines on their desktops each Monday morning.
David Heller, IBSystems' President said, "Our first portal back in
1995, was DACafe.com (Design Automation Cafe). DACafe was an umbrella
site that provided resources for the EDA, MCAD and GIS industries. In
1998 we made the strategic decision to create separate portals for
each industry. This paradigm shift has allowed us to laser in on the
needs of CAD professionals in each industry. We've also expanded our
network to include Printed Circuit Board design (PCB) and
Architectural Engineering (AEC), and have built a very successful
careers site, www.CareersCafe.com, that offers targeted job
opportunities in each industry."
Sanjay Gangal, IBSystems' VP of Marketing said, "The response to
our targeted approach by both visitors and sponsors has been
excellent. We actively listen and constantly fine-tune our model to
better serve our audience. We're very pro-active and continually add
new products. This year we launched our virtual trade shows to meet
the reality of reduced travel and budgets. Our VirtualDACafe and
VirtualBIUC (for Bentley Systems) shows were real winners, and we are
now actively promoting three more shows: VirtualMCAD (October 15,
2002), VirtualGISCafe (February 4, 2003) and VirualDACafe Spring 2003,
February 11th.
